Multitouch – Taking collaboration to new heights
Teachers can increase the opportunities for classroom collaboration, thanks to the multitouch capabilities of the new 800 series. Two people can use their fingers or a pen to write, draw and interact with content on the surface of the SMART Board interactive whiteboard. There are no special tools or menus required – students can simply walk up to the SMART Board interactive whiteboard and immediately begin working together.

Freestyle interaction – Expanding the boundaries of learning
With freestyle interaction, two students can work together anywhere on the surface without being restricted to a defined space or required to use a specific tool. And each student can perform different actions at the same time. For example, one student can move objects around while the other writes in digital ink.

Touch gestures – Putting the world at their fingertips
Using touch gestures*, students can interact with lesson content in new and exciting ways, which gives them a deeper, more interactive learning experience. Students can use simple, intuitive gestures, such as toss, rotate and zoom, or use the navigational gestures available with multitouch operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows 7 or Mac Snow Leopard.

Object awareness – Making it easy to interact
The object awareness feature makes using the 800 series a completely intuitive experience – the technology is virtually invisible. You can switch seamlessly from writing with a pen, erasing with the palm of your hand and moving objects with your finger. There's no need to press buttons, access on-screen menus or replace tools in the Pen Tray.

Access to a rich collection of learning resources
Teachers can access free, ready-to-use educational resources, including thousands of standards-correlated SMART Notebook lesson activities, anytime on the SMART Exchange website. With the release of SMART Notebook 10.7 software, added functionality will become available for SMART Notebook lesson activities, however material created using version 10.6 will also be enhanced by the new features of the 800 series.
*Feature will be supported upon release of SMART Notebook 10.7 software, expected by March 2011.
Multitouch experience
Two users can simultaneously write, perform mouse functions, erase, and manipulate and move objects on the interactive whiteboard surface – no special tools are required.
Freestyle interaction*
The system enables two users to instantly start working together without having to switch into a separate multiuser mode or work in a confined area. And each user can individually complete actions, like writing in digital ink or moving objects with their fingers.
Object awareness
The 800 series uses DViT (Digital Vision Touch) technology to identify when a user switches between a finger, pen and eraser. A user can also write with a pen, erase with a palm and move objects with a finger, without having to press buttons, access on-screen menus or replace tools in the Pen Tray.
Touch gestures*
Use simple, intuitive hand and finger gestures to toss, rotate or zoom in on objects and interact within SMART Notebook software. The 800 series has built-in support for Windows 7 and Snow Leopard.
SMART Notebook software
SMART Notebook software sets the standard for creating, delivering and managing interactive lessons within a single application. It puts all your instructional materials at your fingertips, and allows you to save any notes or content you write during the lesson to share with students later on. A powerful and easy-to-use application, SMART Notebook software enables you to readily deliver interactive lessons that keep your students engaged and interested.
Multiuser Pen Tray
Pick up one of the pens or the eraser and the Pen Tray automatically detects which tool you’ve selected. Buttons on the Pen Tray select the color and activate the On-Screen Keyboard, right-click and help functions.
Modular design
The Pen Tray includes two wings on the side that allow you to add accessories, such as SMART projector controls.
Lockable pen option
Hold down a pen color button on the Pen Tray until the light flashes, and the lockable pen option will lock the interactive whiteboard into pen mode, so you can use any device and it will act as a pen. Early education students and students with special needs can use objects, such as tennis balls, to write on the surface.
SMART Ink
Discover a responsive and accurate writing experience with SMART Ink. It smoothes out the appearance of the digital ink, which improves the legibility of your handwriting as you write over applications, websites and videos. The ink becomes an object that you can move and manipulate.
Save function
Capture your work to SMART Notebook collaborative learning software as a screen shot that you can edit, or save your notes directly into several software applications, including Microsoft Windows versions of PowerPoint, Word and Excel, as well as AutoCAD and Adobe Acrobat.
Durable surface
The 800 series has a low-gloss surface that is optimized for projection. The surface is compatible with dry-erase markers and is easily cleaned.
Widescreen interactive whiteboard option
Enjoy more room to work. The wide-format 885 model gives you 20% more workspace than a standard interactive whiteboard – ideal for classrooms that use widescreen laptops and monitors.
